Yes, there are non-surgical methods for treating phimosis, including stretching exercises and topical steroid creams. Stretching exercises can help to gradually loosen the foreskin, while topical steroid creams can help reduce inflammation and make the foreskin easier to retract

I'm a 27-year-old male dealing with an overactive bladder and urge incontinence. My urologist prescribed meds that helped but caused hard stools and anal fissures. After switching meds, the same issue came back, and I even had to get surgery for the fissure. The doctor says there are only two types of bladder-relaxing meds available, and both cause dry mouth and constipation. I'm really anxious because this feels never-ending are there really no other options that won't give me these side effects? My life has become so difficult because of this.
While the commonly prescribed medications for overactive bladder may cause side effects like constipation and dry mouth, it's not necessarily true that no other options exist. There are several alternative approaches to managing overactive bladder and urge incontinence, including lifestyle modifications, bladder training techniques, and other medical interventions like Botox injections or nerve stimulation, which might be worth exploring with your urologist.

My report says the ureters are obscured and there's a 5 mm kidney stone. Can a stone this size pass without surgery? What noninvasive tests like CT or MRI should I do to check for obstruction and locate the stone?
A 5mm kidney stone has a good chance of passing on its own, but a CT scan or MRI can help determine if the stone is obstructing the ureter and if further intervention is needed. CT scans are the preferred method for assessing kidney stones, as they are highly sensitive and can provide detailed images of the urinary tract.
